Learn the Alphabet

It is useful when playing Scrabble or Words with Friends to know the alphabets– Hebrew and Greek.  Be aware, though, that not all letters are legal in both Scrabble and Words With Friends.  For example, the fourth letter of the Hebrew alphabet, dalet, is not legal, but the fourth letter in the Greek alphabet, delta, is.  Also, sometimes one form of the letter is legal and another form is not.  For example, the 8th letter in the Hebrew alphabet, chet, is only legal in an alternate form, khet
